The bathtub was deep, and I could fully soak. The fireplace was a wonderful luxury. There was a vacuum cleaner just outside my door. I figured it would be put away, but it was still there when I came back. The next morning, the housekeeping cart was there too. It felt like stepping into the janitor’s closet. I mentioned it to the front desk on the second day, hoping they would move it, but when I returned hours later, it was still parked in front of my room. I asked why and was told, “That’s where we keep it.” When I booked, I liked that they advertised a restaurant next door that delivers. I understood when the restaurant was closed on Sunday, but I was disappointed to find it was also closed on Monday. If you’re going to advertise something on your website, list the days it’s available. When I mentioned I was bummed, the desk girl said, “They’re a separate business.” She did not care that the website was misleading. They say they’re a “boutique hotel,” but it’s a B&B. The place is dim and dingy. The sheets were clean, but everything was slightly damp. The paint around the doors was chipped and dirty, and over the tub is bubbling up. The bed was uncomfortable. lumpy and sloped from too many people sleeping on it over time. Finally, the doors to the hotel open inward, which is a fire hazard. Doors should always open out, or if there's a rush, it creates a bottleneck, and people get trampled or crushed. It’s against SF safety codes; I’m shocked they haven't been fined.

Lovely, eclectic B&B. Staff were welcoming and available for questions. Room spacious; bed/mattress super comfortable. Super clean. Only downsides: no air conditioning (it was a warm weekend), and my husband would have liked a room safe. Regardless, I will gladly stay here in future!

We loved our stay at this quirky little inn. The fireplace in our room was lovely as was the charm of the old building and decor. The continental breakfast was great as well! The biggest downfall here was that valet parking was the only option, and it was pretty pricy. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience!

I really loved my stay. It was a last minute booking when my trip got extended and I was really pleased with the location, the funky decor and the service. The wine and cheese hour in the evening is such a nice touch too. Would absolutely stay again when visiting downtown SF.
